While you’d have to be living under a rock to not know that there’s a national election taking place in our country on November 4th, there are some mock election projects underway that you might not know about.

The Economist, for example, recently launched the Global Electoral College --an online feature that’s redrawn the electoral map to allow all 195 of the world’s countries to weigh in on who they’d like to see as the next U.S. President. (The U.S. President does, afterall, have a pretty significant effect on the rest of the world.) Obama has taken the lead considerably though McCain is, not surprisingly, doing quite well in the country of Georgia, which recently dominated the airwaves due to its spat with Russia.

And there’s another mock election site that’s taking non-U.S. citizens’ votes into consideration: AliensVote. At least 1 of every 10 people in the U.S. today is an alien. No, I’m not talking about extraterrestrials, but rather about the approximately 29.1 million people living in our country that don’t have U.S. citizenship but still pay tas and often own homes or businesses.

Also, something for all you readers who aren’t yet 18: you can back your favorite candidate with URVotesCount online poll. The project, which has starlet Selena Gomez as one of its main supporters, also set up voter booths in malls all across America so not-yet-legal voters could voice their political opinions, too.

Finally--just for fun--check out PeanutsRocksTheVote. Which Peanuts character would you want to see as president? The good ’ole candidate Charlie Brown? The "underdog" Snoopy? The outspoken Lucy, thoughtful Linus or the precocious Sally? Cast your vote online, but know polls are showing that the beagle’s got a pretty significant lead.
